Music lessons with Katie are centered around a creative, supportive, and fun core mantra. Strong classical music technique is infused with positivity and professionalism to ensure that each and every student has the best lesson class experience possible!

Katie believes that every child has a creative voice to discover and use, and it’s a privilege to guide a student’s developing talent as a budding musician during their time learning together.

Katie cultivates the joy of creativity through encouraging a cheerful lesson environment, focusing on positive reinforcement, infusing lesson interactions with care and consideration for each and every student, no matter their skill level.

Personalizing the music education experience, making it come alive more so than from a textbook or an online tutorial, creates connection and relatability for students to share more interest in the subject matter.

Katie has worked with kiddos of all ages for 20 years, and treasures the sweet interactions of students sharing about their day, expressing excitement over a new piece of music, and validating their accomplishments with each music-learning triumph along the way!
